Pixie Snippets challenge weeks 289/290

The lovely Di has done some clever re-assembly of die cut snippets to produce an elegant heart on her card this week and no prizes for guessing what the 'prize' could be if you enter the challenge and are lucky enough to be a winner in the draw. My card for the Playground Challenge this time has been made using yet another of my collection of freebie dies and of course some of my snippet mountain.

While I was having a sort out recently I came across a fairly large snippet of white card which had been embossed with a script folder. I got out my pot of pearlescent acrylic medium and a scrunch of cling film to dab randomly over the surface. Once dry it was then sponged with two colours of Oxide ink - the pearl resisted the colour of course. A square was cut from this piece and then I searched through my scraps to find small snippets to cut the main die (circle with leaves and flowers) and also some extra flowers and leaves which were all assembled onto a die cut circle, carefully saving the tiny flower centres from the die cuts to pop back into the flowers. The 'happy' word was also part of the die set which included some small word stamps to complete various sentiments. The Misti came in very handy for placing the 'birthday' word in just the right place. Finally I punched a couple of tiny butterflies from scraps of the remaining background, leaving me with a small strip which I've used on another card so that's one less large snippet hanging around - still plenty of small ones though!

About Me

I've only just realised that my original words about myself seem to have disappeared being replaced by what I wrote on my other blog which has now been deleted. I have been crafting for many years and possibly the words 'Jack of all trades' could be applied because there aren't many crafts I've not attempted. I enjoy paper crafting (all aspects), beading, embroidery, general sewing, crochet, knitting ... the list goes on. I find that being creative in one way or another is very relaxing and enjoyable and I like to share some of the results with others, hence the blog posts,
